So if I understand you correctly, given that I will have a "fresh" system
everything should work correctly and meltdown is something that should not
occur under normal cicumstances. With the addition of the inline fuse under
the dash for the rear lights, I will be adding that much more safety?
Or should I consider more? Of course there is putting in a fuse block
somewhere would be the ideal.
